Automatic updates

microsoft.public.windowsupdate

For the last few days, every time that I use my PC I get the message telling
me that updates are ready for your compter. Normally I would leave these
until I switch off and they are installed automatically. But then I noticed
that it was always the same update that was being installed. The update is
"Security update for Microsoft.NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service pack 1
(KB928366).
When I go to custom install, select the update and click "Install" it goes
through the process and tells me that the update was successfully installed.
However, within minutes, it is back telling me that it's ready to be
installed! This is very annoying any suggestions would be most welcome.

Open the netfxsl.log
Copy and paste the log into your reply and perhaps someone can assist you.

Or, consult Aaron's blog for excellent advice once you locate the error
codes that will, hopefully, show in the netfxsl.log
I will be on the road Monday and not sure how much access to the
newsgroups there will be. Be back 11/28.

Thanks for your help MowGreen. I went to AAron's blog and downloaded the
dotnetfx cleanup tool. After running that and reinstalling .NET Framework 1.1
the problem seems to have been solved.
Thanks again,
